The device descriptions and performance studies focus on chemical and biological indicators that change color or exhibit fluorescence based on exposure to hydrogen peroxide, which are physical/chemical reactions, not AI/ML processes. The mention of "ALLClear™ Technology" and the "STERRAD VELOCITY™ Reader" with a specific software version do not inherently indicate AI/ML; they likely refer to automated system checks or data processing, not learning algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the text.
No.
The device described is a chemical indicator, biological indicator, or tape used to monitor sterilization processes, not to treat or diagnose patients.
No
The device is a process indicator (or biological indicator/process challenge device) used to verify that sterilization processes have occurred, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like chemically reactive ink, styrene strips, tape, and vials. While a reader device is mentioned (which likely contains software), the core devices being described (chemical indicators, biological indicators, and PCDs) are physical objects.
Based on the provided information, these devices are not In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of all the described devices is to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes for medical devices. They are used with medical devices that will be used on patients, but they themselves are not used to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease in a patient by examining specimens derived from the human body.
- Device Description: The descriptions detail chemical indicators and biological indicators that react to the sterilization process (hydrogen peroxide). They do not describe devices that analyze biological samples.
- Anatomical Site and Patient Age Range: These are listed as "Not Applicable," which is consistent with devices that are not used directly on or with a patient's biological material.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the functionality of the indicators in response to the sterilization process (color change, growth inhibition, fluorescence), not on the analysis of biological specimens.
In summary, these devices are sterilization process indicators, not IVDs.

Device Description
The STERRAD™ Chemical Indicator (Cl) Strip consists of chemically reactive ink, a clear overcoat ink, a yellow comparator bar, and black ink for copy printed on a strip of white styrene. This device is a through-put process indicator to be used with ASP's STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems. The STERRAD Sterilization System utilizes hydrogen peroxide gas plasma to achieve rapid, low-temperature sterilization of medical devices. When in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the indicator will change from red to yellow as indicated by the comparator bar to indicate that the load has been exposed to hydrogen peroxide.
The STERRAD Chemical Indicator (CI) Strip does not imply that sterilization has been achieved or to assure that the sterilization cycle has been completed. Rather, it provides a visual indication that hydrogen peroxide, an essential ingredient in the operation of the STERRAD System sterilization process, is present in the sterilization chamber.
The STERRAD™ SEALSURE™ Chemical Indicator Tape is a through-put process indicator tape to be used with ASP's STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems that utilize hydrogen peroxide gas plasma to achieve rapid, low-temperature sterilization of medical devices.
The Chemical Indicator Tape reacts with hydrogen peroxide as it is introduced into the sterilization chamber. The chemical reaction between the indicator ink and the hydrogen peroxide causes the dye of the indicator ink on the diagonal STERRAD logos and the chemical indicator square on the tape to change color, indicating that the load has been exposed to hydrogen peroxide.
STERRAD SEALSURE Chemical Indicator Tape does not imply that sterilization has been achieved or to assure that the sterilization cycle has been completed.
The STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator (BI) is a self-contained biological indicator, used in conjunction with the STERRAD VELOCITY Reader, that is intended for frequent monitoring and/or periodic testing in STERRAD Sterilization Systems.
The assembled ULTRA GI PCD is composed of a vial that encapsulates the STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator (BI). The vial creates a stronger resistance to the ULTRA GI Cycle. At the end of the Bl is removed from the vial and used in conjunction with the STERRAD VELOCITY Reader (software version 1139260417 or newer) to verify the effectiveness of the ULTRA GI PCD Vial is only used for the ULTRA GI Cycle in STERRAD 100NX Sterilizers.

Dear Brandon Roberts:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Summary
The subject device, STERRAD Chemical Indicator (CI) Strip (14100), and its predicate utilize the same technology and verification/validation methods to achieve its intended use. The performance testing results indicate that including the ULTRA GI Cycle does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. ASP believes the subject device to be as safe and effective as the predicate.
Conclusion
Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical performance data, the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the existing legally marketed predicate device, K111518.

Device Description
The STERRAD™ SEALSURE™ Chemical Indicator Tape is a through-put process indicator tape to be used with ASP's STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems that utilize hydrogen peroxide gas plasma to achieve rapid, low-temperature sterilization of medical devices.
The Chemical Indicator Tape reacts with hydrogen peroxide as it is introduced into the sterilization chamber. The chemical reaction between the indicator ink and the hydrogen peroxide causes the dye of the indicator ink on the diagonal STERRAD logos and the chemical indicator square on the tape to change color, indicating that the load has been exposed to hydrogen peroxide.
STERRAD SEALSURE Chemical Indicator Tape does not imply that sterilization has been achieved or to assure that the sterilization cycle has been completed.
Intended Use/Indications For Use
STERRAD™ SEALSURE™ Chemical Indicator Tape is a process indicator (ISO 11140-1:2014 [Type 1]) intended for use by health care providers to secure non-woven sterilization packs and wraps to be sterilized in the STERRAD™ Sterilization Systems:
- STERRAD™ 100S .
- STERRAD NX™ .
- STANDARD AND ADVANCED Cycles with and without ALLClear™ Technology
- . STERRAD™ 100NX
- STANDARD, FLEX, EXPRESS, and DUO Cycles with and without ALLClear™ Technology
- ം
The color of the STERRAD SEALSURE Chemical Indicator Tape changes from red to gold (or lighter) indicated by comparator bar when exposed to hydrogen peroxide and is intended to differentiate between processed and unprocessed loads.
